I'm looking for a sharer for one of my horses, to stay at mine in S66 area of Rotherham. He's a 15.2hh, 14yo gelding. Good to do in most ways but can show his French side on occasions, such as when loading into a trailer or lorry. Good to ride and will hack out alone and in company, and...

Try Binders at Brecks. Small livery yard rather than private field though.

It happens. Suck it up and move on.

I've found similar, cheaper elsewhere and easier to source tbh.

Have a look at Equine Touch. It's amazing! I went on the Level 1 course after seeing a demo at YHL and am now just awaiting my final result for becoming a practitioner. The Level 1 course will teach you all you need to know to be able to complete an entire session on your own horse yourself...

My horse started carrying his tail to one side, then struggled to track up, then couldn't get or maintain canter. Thermal imaging confirmed my suspicisions at this point of a SI injury. 6 months field rest and he was fine. Thankfully. The other possible cause was a tendon issue. Definitely get...

How does a lawn meet differ to every other meet? What should I do differently at a lawn meet? I've only ever been on hound exercise so far, but am hoping to get to a meet this season, if not then definitely next year. I've waited 30+ years so far, another few months won't make so much difference!

Generally I leave the ramp unlocked as it's backed up to a fence, and I've usually got the engine running when I'm loading up so it's a pain when I've forgotten to unlock it. I have both the living and ramp unlocked for travelling in case of emergency. When I'm away from the box on a ride or...

I've seen large lorry tyres stacked to provide a hay holder, seems to work quite well. If I have to feed it loose, I spread the slices out and there seems to be less waste. This year I have a big plastic pallet box from work which I'm going to try. I'll need to reinforce it somehow though as...

Thanks guys, that's really helpful. Hopefully I'll get chance to look at both at YHL. My fave, but furthest local tack shop only stocks one type. I'd really like to be able to compare both in relative quick succession.

We had one of those too, the other night. Much appreciated!

What are the major differences between the main brands? I'm a bit out of touch! What are the pro's and con's of one? What are the costs involved? I'm thinking of investing for faster work and hunting. I do have an aerowear outlyne which I'm happy to wear as well as an air vest so not...

same person teacups ;)

Years ago she dealt from a yard in Killamarsh, Sheffield.

I keep a diary on Trot Online for my adventures with HippoHead, although I've not updated it for a couple of weeks or so so the next update is going to be fairly epic again. It's lovely to read back through it and see all the little things we've conquered, as well as the greater journey. I've...
